I just dropped the body on the frame of my TR4A.  It was quite a day.
Everything lines up well.  I know that door alignment is difficult at best and
was wondering what tricks there are to getting this right.  I have not bolted
anything down yet.  The fenders and doors are still off.  The body has been
fully stripped and repainted top and bottom.  The sheet metal has also been
reconditioned off of the car to get the best job.  Do you ever have to use
extra shims to get the door opening correct? What is the best method to decide
how many shims to put in the main section of the car?  Are there any tricks?
